Car Hunt

We are now hunting in earnest for a new car.  Our plan is to pick up one car here and one car there.  The NM car will likely be mine and we will pick up something newer for E in NH.  Last Saturday, we packed up Tyoma and went to the Toyota lot, where E wanted to look around.  He squirmed and it was hard to look around.  Mom is sitting for us today.

This week Egor  found a used 2003 Highlander in great shape.  All his research says that this would be the perfect purchase, but I am very sceptical.  The car we looked wonderful, but it positively stank.

The former owners were smokers and the deodorizer they used to remove the smell makes my eyes water.  I want a newer RAV4, but E said it's not such a good deal.  I hate strong smells, and the idea of my car reeking of chemicals is a major deal breaker for me. But, after several phone calls to the dealer, e assured me that the car will air out fine. There were some tears, but a deal was made. E promises that this will be his car if I can't adjust to the smell. I also insisted on seat replacements for the cigarette-burned passenger side and Toyota even threw in new tires. Phew.  Off to google car de-deodorizes!

Happy Anniversary!

So much is getting away from me now, especially with the big move planned. I'd like to congratulate Mom and Dad on 44 years of awesome marriage! I love you guys!

I love you guys!

Snow Pants!

Since we are moving to New Hampshire, we need to stock up on winter gear. I picked up a pair of ski pants on sale today: He walks like a robot in them! Actually, it's been pretty windy here, so once I pick up a little hooded jacket, I'll be turning him looose outside more often.

Whee!

Fontessa is here for a visit, so Tyoma is running about, having a ball:

Tent City

So the little guy is driving me crazy and I decide to put up a tent for him:

Aeorspace Offer

Well, we finally got our Aerospace offer in. It's not bad, but we will not be able to buy a house. We can rent a decent place, but it will be small. I've checked out some rentals. Not what I hopes and a great downsizing from our current ample space. I am a bit dissapointed, I had hoped for a touch more money, just because of the insane housing costs. If we were to get the same offer in Albuquerque or Denver, we'd be doing back flips.

One part of me just wants E to take it so the uncertainty will go away. I want to know where we will be living and that we have some real job security

Holy Crap!

Looks like we will be going to New Hampshire next week.  I am about to have heart failure.  Suddenly, we have an option to go to somewhere else. But we haven't hear from Cali if they want us.  I pray they do and am freaking out over the pay.  If they don't offer us enough we will not have a house or backyard for Tyoma. A cement postage stamp will be all we get. Sigh!

Well, Look what my mom sent me...
